Please contact us for any inquiries. - WCRB2017(9.27-9.29) will be held in Okinawa.
Many reproductive biologists including Prof. Helena and Prof. Matzuk are planning to attend.
For discussion requests, please email us. - Prof. Allan Balmain is planning to attend The 76th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cancer Association(2017.09.28-30).
Please contact us for more details. - Prof. Andrew Johnson from The University of Nottingham is planning to attend The International Research Symposium on Regulation of Germ Cell Development in vivo and in vitro as a speaker.
Please contact us for more details. - The goal for international activity support in this innovative area is to advance and promote the research of primates and human reproductive cells.
Professor Makoto Nagano(McGill University, 7/12-8/3) and Professor Kyle Orwig(Pittsburgh University, 7/23-7/25) will be coming to Japan with this international activity support.
Both are pioneers in the field of spermatogonial stem cell research.
They will be holding a lecture at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine on 7/24 at 14PM.
Anyone interested in discussions or cooperative research with the two can contact Takashi Shinohara.
